Disputing mod warning

AllForIt

I am disputing a mod warning on the basis that Necro has misjudged my motivation for the post in question where he says I was motivated by a desire to be insensitive to transgender people. I fully reject this interpretation.

My post alluded to gender ideological terms and beliefs, the very same kind of gender ideological terms that J.K Rowling was quoted as being critical of in the post I quoted. My point was relevant and not trolling. I was in fact motivated to support J.K. Rowling's or really anyone's right to criticise gender ideological language without being villified for it, not motived by casual transphobia.

That's it, pretty clear cut. I would just say all criticism of gender ideology could be taken as being insensitive to trans people so I don't really see how we can have any discussion on the topic at all if the policy here is to be so hypersensitive.

I have been advised by @Big Bag of Chips that this needs to be looked at by a category mod, which I understand is @ancapailldorcha and @Ten of Swords

There's no appealing of CA warnings until the 1 month ban/6th warning point.

@Spear I am currently banned from CA for a month and my previous warning came with a 1 month ban as well. I don't think I'm on the 6th warning so why am I getting month bans? It was because I recently became aware a one month ban was appealable that I opened this dispute.

I see the comment that a 1 month ban is also being applied, so this DRP would also be appealing the 1 month ban. It can proceed in that case then.

Since this dispute has been 'overlooked' for over 2 weeks I am requesting of you that we skip the Cmod review stage and have admin deal with it.

AllForIt

Gosh my month ban from CA is up already. Doesn't time fly when you're having fun opening browser tabs in private mode.

AllForIt

I was wondering, will I get credit for time unjustly banned from CA that I can use agaisnt my next ban? Or is there a cash alternative? If so, I'll take the cash!

I've PM'd them to get this moving, it's been overlooked for too long.

Ten of Swords

@AllForIt, all CA bans except permanent ones have been lifted. This includes your ban so you are free to post in CA once more.

AllForIt

@Ten of Swords

My ban was lifted beore that acually. The issue is not the ban it's the specific CA cumulative warnings rule that leads to increasingly lenghty bans and eventual total ban.

Has that been scrapped?

No, the scaling ban system is still present. The current rules including the recent ban lifts are in the CA sticky:

Okay thanks, so this dispute is still open then.

I don't understand how mods don't get that the scaling ban system is more serious than a temp ban. Sometimes CA mods give out warnings without any temp ban but add them to one's total warnings. The other way around i.e. a temp ban but no accumulated waring would be less severe.

The cumulative warnings/bans process still exists (although that would be out of scope for a DRP), I suggest starting a thread in Help Desk to discuss that in more detail.

Your current ban has expired, coinciding with the updated CA mod note that all non-permanent CA bans were lifted last Friday.

Are you continuing this dispute and if so what is the basis please?

AllForIt

@Big Bag of Chips Can you please now after 6 weeks address this dispute as as you can see I'm getting nowhere with the mod charged with dealing it (see post above)

Big Bag of Chips

What is your dispute? If it's a discussion on the accumulated bans rule then it is not the scope of DRP.

The ban has expired. If you wish to dispute that ban and wish for it to be reversed then @Ten of Swords will look at it.

If you wish to discuss the general rule you can find a suitable thread in the Feedback forum, or start a new one.

@Big Bag of Chips

I don't know why you are both making this more complicated than it is.

This is the dispute resolution forum where I am as per the OP disputing the reason given for the warning. The sanctions that come with the warning are only a secondary issue.

Mods issue warnings in the hope a poster doesn't post in the same way again and in exactly the same way I am disputing the reason given for the warning so that mods don't behave in the same way again. This is the primary issue.

The fact my ban expired after a month (which is what happened not as Ten says was lifted due to all bans being lifted) is irrelevant to the dispute. In respect of the CA accumulating warning issue I don't see how that is an issue for the Help Desk anyway because the warning has not been overruled so as it stands I would have no argument to make to have my CA warnings total reduced.

Big Bag of Chips

You were warned for trolling in this post.

If you are disputing the reason given for the warning then you need to outline why the moderator was wrong to warn you for trolling.

If you are disputing that you were not trolling this can be looked at and reversed even if the warning has expired. The warning will be removed from your record if overturned.

@Big Bag of Chips

If you are disputing the reason given for the warning then you need to outline why the moderator was wrong to warn you for trolling.

It is abundantly clean from the OP that I am indeed disputing the reason given for the warning, where you will also see I have already outlined why the moderator was wrong.

I don't see what more I would need to add at this stage. The next logical step is for a mod to give a response where I would have an opportunity to elaborate further if need be.

Big Bag of Chips

@Ten of Swords can you look at this dispute please. The warning and ban have both expired, but can be overturned and removed from the poster's record if the appeal is successful.
